The Hanging Hay Pillow® slow feeding hay bag is the best alternative to small mesh hay nets. Its durable, solid back design better contains the hay and minimizes waste. A customer favorite for eating at trailer side or as a suspended slow feed choice at home. 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/4” and 1 3/4" mesh sizes.

Wide and low netting offers your horse, pony, or goat more access to the hay and encourages a more natural eating position with the head down or lowered.

​Choose from a Variety of Mesh Sizes

The Hanging Hay Pillow® is available in a variety of small and not-so-small mesh sizes: 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/4” and 1 3/4" to suit you and your herd's needs. It is appropriate for any size horse, pony and goats.

​New Customers:

1 ¼” and 1 ¾” are the most popular mesh sizes. 1 ¼”; most horses will be able to extract hay and slow them down considerably. However, it can be too challenging for some, which is why we offer the 1 ¾”. Smaller mesh sizes do not necessarily equate to your equine eating slower - they may not be able to eat at all.

​Lowered Netting Area So Your Horse Can Eat In A More Natural Position

The Hanging Hay Pillow® was designed to be hung as low as possible from the ground; therefore, the netting area is wide and low. This allows your equine to eat in a more natural position and enables them to utilize the entire netting area. Our netting is made and mounted on the square so the opening size stays consistent regardless of how full the bag is; netting on the diagonal gradually elongates to twice the actual mesh size. We recommend using swivel clips (as shown in the photos below) - so that the bag won’t twist, just the clip.

​​Hanging & Mounting Tips for Over Eager Eaters

The best method for mounting a Hanging Hay Pillow for voracious (over eager) eaters is to suspend it. Hang from a tree limb (away from the trunk) or rafters in the stall. Slide a piece of PVC pipe over the rope to avoid entanglement and attach a swivel clip at the bottom. If there is nothing solid behind the bag, they can't push on it to grate their teeth across the netting. This also makes it more challenging.​Secure the swivel clip (facing the back of the bag) to the drawstring in the center front and back of the bag or pull the ends of the drawstring through the center of the front.

​Hanging Hay Pillow Testimonial

"Perfect pillows for my baby! The hanging hay pillow I put in Rosie’s stall and use it in the horse trailer. It’s a great size. She also has a Standard Hay Pillow in her paddock. She loves to walk back and forth eating little bits at a time going inside and outside. I’m ordering another so she can have 3 locations to eat from. She loves walking and eating, walking and eating. Never really thought about it but it is what they do when they graze! Incredible product, thanks so much." Read more Reviews
